Mitchell shows that love can endure, if only we become aware of our self-destructive efforts to protect ourselves from its risks.

Brooke Adamson knew how devilishly handsome magnate, Rafe Charlwood felt about her. She was his wife after all—or rather she had been, until a terrible car accident three years ago, which Rafe still believed had claimed her life.

His name was Travis Montgomery. He was a small-town man of little significance that was content with a girl by his side and a life to call his own. But after finding himself on the receiving end of a blade, his life taken from him before he could even begin to live at all, Travis was not content to part with the world so soon. It wasn't long after that the Auburn Demon made itself known, a supernatural entity who left a trail of tragedies wherever it went. Bearing a blade, it struck fear into the hearts and minds of people across the town and beyond. Yet, humanity remained resilient. A coalition was formed to return the demon to wherever they descended from. It consisted of three individuals, whose contrasting views on humanity could end up tearing them apart or bringing them close enough to be unstoppable. Avalonia Miliken; a firey girl with a past full of heartbreak and tragedy, hoping to cast aside her past failures carve out a path that's free of the Demon, who turns out to be a far more personal threat than she could've ever predicted. Timothy Tockman; a reclused and bitter scientist with a god complex whose fantastical obsession with time travel reveals a nihilistic view of the current state of humanity and the world as a whole. Penny Novoa; not the strongest nor the smartest girl in any given room, Penny doesn't care for trying to better herself as much as she cares for the simple joys of life, such as the pursuit of young love and the fulfilment to be found within the leather-bound covers of a good book. A book that conceptualizes irrealistic-driven supernatural concepts such as rebirth, higher powers, and the inherent magic within a human's soul, all without leaving the confines of a suburban southern town in the outskirts of Kentucky, Loved and Lost is a dark tale that tackles the toughest facets of humanity in a story that is so much more real than its contents would suggest.
